Forecasts

Celtic Tune (2/1), Finish The Story (9/4), Day Of Roses (5/1), Jack Snipe (5/1), Flugzeug (17/2), Lord Aldervale (9/1), Venetian Lad (16/1), Spanish Optimist (25/1)

Verdict

Flugzeug had Celtic Tune and Lord Aldervale behind when collecting here three weeks ago. A line through the third, Thepartyisover, gives all three plenty to find with FINISH THE STORY who had the same horse 20L behind here last month. He has winning form over fences off higher marks and an 8L success at Southwell in January shows he retains ability despite his advancing years. Jack Snipe was hammered by the handicapper for winning a poor race which has not worked out well but his latest effort suggests he could be good enough to play a role in another soft contest. Stable companion Day Of Roses has been popular in the market previously and this winning point-to-pointer is again worth noting in pre-race trading.
  1. Finish The Story
  2. Jack Snipe
  3. Celtic Tune
